Merry Christmas!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! I know, I know, the date on this post says i posted it on christmas eve, but so what? Its close enough; only an hour and 10 minuts away!! Wow, I'm thinking of trying to write a christmas letter type thing with this post, but im not sure....Ok, fine! ;-) Where to begin? Its been such an...eventful year, starting with the Dells trip in January. Yes, we went to the Dells as a family in january with a church group, and had a blast. We swam all day and played golf all night, but thats about all i can remember...lol. Next Big event was...hmmm, i dont know..maybe the fourth of July outing at McLeod's cabin? Yeah, we went as a church group again to One familily's Lake-side cabin. We spent three days tubing, tubing, and tubing. Yes, we did a LOT of tubing. Its my new favorite summer passtime too!I cant even remember doing much else other than watching Master and Commander one night....hmmm. Next event was the Church Campout in August. Yes, another church event. We have a lot of those, cause our church likes to do fun things as a group! That one was based on Volleyball mostly. Yeah, i know i said tubing is my fav summer thing to do, but its actually second to volleyball. Yup, we palyed volleyball and horseshoes during the day, and at night i played guitar as we sang soungs around the campfire. AWSOME MAN!! lol! next event....Family vacation!! That was cool, cause we went all the way to Kentuckey and back. Ill see about posting the pics i have...anyway, we went through the UP of Michigan, crossing over the Macinac Bridge, which is three miles long. KEWL, MAN!! Then we visited some friends in Mid-Michigan that we havent seen for a few years. Then we went on to Kentuckey and the Creation Museum. We camped at Big Bone Lick state park, a place i dont think ill ever forget, cause that is where we met the HANSONS!! We managed to park our camper inbetween two other Christian, Homeschooling families, one of which was the Hanson family. idk, u prolly know how it is meeting people camping. u spend the first day not talking at all, and then on the second, u actually start talking and get to know eachother. By the third day, one of u has to go, and u hate it. The same thing here, except i got an IM address from Cassidy, the oldest of three kids. SOOOO we talk almost daily trying to stay caught up. The best camping friends IV ever made!! lol! The creation museum was good too, btw. Then we started making our way back home. On the way we went to a place called Conners Prarie, which was one of those places where people are payed to got to this historic village and act like they live in another time period. That was, i think besides meeting hansons, my fav part of the vacation. It was so cool to see into that time period, (which was the early 1900s) cause I have always said that if i could live in another time period, it would be the early 1900s. Then we went home. lol During all of this, (meaning the events of the summer) Adam, John, Jake and I feebly tried to make a movie...which is still in halted progress...i hope i get it finished someday...oops. And that brings us up to christmas on the event horizion! ;-) Now for me, personally. This year in August i got my first real job as a Dietary Aide at Park View Nursing Home. Its really a great job, and i really enjoy it...and the pay is pretty good too! Some (ok, most) of my coworkers are a little(some a LOT) rough around the edges, but they are really fun to work with. The best part is that they respect what i believe, and try not to do things in front of me that they know would offend me. I dont think u can ask for better!! I also got accepted at UW-EC and I am goig there next fall, majoring in Computer Engineering. Its actually a very scary thought, me moving out next fall. whimper whimper. O well, God gives strength!!Other then that, my life has been pretty boring since school started...I really miss going to Dokime. Not that i dislike being homeschooled at all, I just miss being with all of u on a daily basis. The only peeps i hang out with now are my coworkers, and they are a rough bunch, so yeah. Other then that though, it has been a great year! I dont think i have neglected to mention anything important...Now, as with my other posts i have a request with this one too. Tell me what u got for christmas!! I will too...
